Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1371

His cheeks felt like soft marshmallows. It was a comforting sensation, and the most unforgettable thing Diana had ever experienced.

More than once, Diana thought that it would be perfect if Sean and Betty never grew up. That way, they could forever stay as little bundles in her embrace. Their little heads could snuggle into her arms— unlike now, as they gradually developed their own thoughts with age.

At times, she felt like she couldn’t keep up with how fast they were growing.

She sighed.

At this moment, Betty was completely immersed in the world of marshmallows, oblivious to Diana’s low spirits.

The colorful marshmallows were mixed into a large mass, resembling a pink blanket against the blue sky. Burying one’s mouth in it would yield a mouthful of sweetness.

“Mommy!”

Betty was visibly excited. Usually, she didn’t have the chance to try these street snacks at home. Having been on her best behavior lately during the trip, Diana’s tolerance for Betty’s food requests was growing.

Betty couldn’t resist pushing the boundaries, and dared herself to try these high-sugar treats.

Fortunately, Diana didn’t stop her.

Instead, she joined in. She opened her mouth, and took a bite of the marshmallow.

“It’s so sweet!” she said.

Seeing this, Betty laughed gleefully. “Mommy, I’m so happy I can travel with you!”

Diana smiled. “Mommy is happy, too.”

She hoped her regrets of not having her children stay as little bundles would gradually fade away.

“Growing at a normal speed is better, after all.”

Growing up had its own advantages. She couldn’t be selfish and wish for the children to stay by her side forever just because she missed their childhood.

Betty was still small, and she was just a cute baby whose attention was wholly on the marshmallow. She was completely unaware of Mommy’s delicate thoughts.

Fortunately, Diana gradually became happier over time. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

She reminded herself not to be overly worried, and to focus on enjoying the traveling with her daughter.

While she became increasingly cheerful, Julian, on the other hand, grew more solemn.

“What?”

Julian’s expression was rarely clouded with a layer of gloom, and now, it cast a dark shadow over his face. Noel had been by Julian’s side for many years, yet he had never seen this expression on Julian’s face before. It made him uneasy.

“I can’t buy any plane tickets with my ID? What about train and high-speed rail tickets?”

Noel nodded. “All of them. What’s even stranger is that everything is normal under your name, whether it’s personal or within the group. There’s no situation where your travel is restricted due to violating legal provisions.”

“Then why can’t the purchase go through?”

Noel shook his head. “I don’t know. Anyone else can buy tickets with their IDs without a problem. But as soon as it’s your ID, it shows a ticket purchase failure.”

“What about our own helicopter?” Julian didn’t want to waste time on this matter; he cared more about the result. “If we fly there ourselves, we should be able to reach Jacroaof, right?”

“We can’t.” Noel became even more troubled, almost instinctively nervous. He pushed his glasses up, and said, “I’ve checked the helicopter, and there’s an issue with the instrument panel. Currently, there are no suitable helicopter mechanics available. Strangely enough, they’re all on collective vacation.”

In short, Julian’s attempt to leave Richburgh for Jacroaof wasn’t as easy as he thought.

“What if I drive to Jacroaof myself?”

Julian refused to believe in this jinx.

Upon hearing Julian’s words, Noel’s expression became increasingly difficult to describe. It resembled someone realizing there was no toilet paper after using the bathroom.
